When Jane and her husband bought their new house, they were less than thrilled with the outdated and sad bedroom that would be their son's nursery. The wallpaper was old, the walls were in bad shape and, to cap it off, there was a very, very skeevy bed that lived in there. Eight months pregnant, Jane got to the tedious work of stripping the wallpaper, repairing walls and then building the room back up from scratch.

Name: Baby H (3 Months)
Location: St. Louis, Missouri

I remember scouring the Sears catalog as a little girl, pretending to pick out items for my baby's nursery. What a joy to actually get to do it. Designing this nursery was truly a dream come true. Here's the final product - I think he likes it.

Name: Anja (6 months)
Location: Burlington, MA

This room is not large and doesn't get a lot of light; it is also a part-time guest room. Thus, it needed to be functional and cheery without feeling too crowded. I also tried to make it feminine but not excessively so. More

Rachel of VanHook & Co. is sharing a project that features paint in an unexpected way: refinishing a worn out wooden floor in her kids' room. More

Name: Porter Location: Seattle, WA (Capitol Hill) We moved to Seattle from Atlanta, and it has been a challenge to get all the rooms in the house set up. The house was built in 1903, and our house in Georgia was new construction, so it has been a new adventure out West. More

Name: Ethan (2)
Location: Alexandria, VA

I was quite attached to Ethan's birch tree nursery in our old house. It was where I 'nested' during my pregnancy, where I saw my mood board visualization come together, and where Ethan rested his tiny head for his first six months. I painstakingly painted beautiful birch trees on the walls over a rich robin's egg blue - it was perfect. But then we moved.

Every time I read The Cat in the Hat to my kids, I am always struck by the color scheme. I've always loved the teal, red, and coral of Dr. Seuss's illustrations, and although I'd probably never go so far as to actually implement a room like this in my house, it's fun to dream! More

Name: Drew & Jake (2 months)
Location: Nashville, TN

We are renting our current house, but I still wanted to make a special nursery for our twin boys. The room originally was a pinkish beige with wallpaper border and a brass "boob light" as my husband calls them. More

What to do when the baby you expect to be a girl turns out to be a bouncing baby boy? Call an expert to help you rethink your nursery plans. That's exactly what happened to this family when they were expecting baby Dylan.

Name: Riley Parker (5 months)
Location: Fresno, CA

My husband and I love the great outdoors and knew that we wanted Riley's nursery to be nature-inspired. We didn't want it to scream baby/kid's room, but we still wanted it to be fun and whimsical for her. Ironically the item we spent the most time finding - the IKEA rocking chair - we have barely used, but I love it in the space anyway.
